The Industrial Map of Chinese Manufacturing
We publish structural research industry by industry, at the granularity of individual industrial clusters, built on real factory samples. Every report cross-references two sources — public membership rolls from trade associations, and verified factories identified by Tianxia Gongchang. The full factory list lives on the main platform.
Liaoning's Tobacco Manufacturing: A Province That Handed Its Factories to Yunnan's Hongta
What makes Liaoning's tobacco manufacturing unusual is not how few players there are, but that its two century-old cigarette factories are controlled by Yunnan's Hongta Group. This report traces that restructuring, the assets of the Shenyang and Yingkou plants, and Great Hall of the People, Liaoning's one remaining homegrown brand.

Shaanxi Agricultural and Sideline Food Processing: A Western Processing Map Built on Fruit and Vegetables
Shaanxi's agri-food processing is led by apple and kiwi fruit-and-vegetable processing, with concentrated apple juice making up roughly a third of the world's output; grain-and-oil milling expands steadily while hog slaughter and feed complete the chain.

Tibet's Textile, Apparel, and Garment Industry: The Handcrafted Pulu Tradition, Tentative Industrialization of Tibetan Dress, and the Scarcity of Scaled Factories
Tibet's textile and apparel industry is dominated by Tibetan dress, pulu, and other ethnic garments, with very few scaled factories. Rather than papering over the data scarcity, this report focuses on Zhanang pulu's geographical indication, the fashion modernization of pulu in Gyantse, the nascent Lhasa garment sector, and aid-program projects — an honest picture of a sector led by handicraft heritage, with industrialization only just beginning.

Qinghai's Agricultural and Sideline Food Processing: The Plateau's First Processing Gate
Small as it is, Qinghai holds plateau-exclusive raw materials such as highland barley, rapeseed, yak and Tibetan sheep, and forage. This report focuses on the primary-processing link of grain milling, vegetable oil, slaughtering, and feed.

Guizhou's Leather, Fur, Feather Products and Footwear Industry: Where Eastern Shoemaking Lands in the West
Guizhou's leather, feather-products and footwear industry was essentially built by attracting industrial transfer from the east. Using Dejiang's shoe city, Pingtang's export uppers, Nayong's satellite factories and Sanxing Down's planned base as threads, this report sets out its real progress, supply-chain gaps and upstream opportunities.

Chongqing's Textile Industry: From the Wartime Peak of Relocated Mills to the Relay of a Single Spandex Filament in Fuling
Chongqing's textiles briefly topped the nation during wartime relocation, then declined along with its state cotton mills. Today its weight lies not in looms but in Fuling's world-largest spandex and adipic acid base, Qianjiang's silk, and Rongchang's millennium-old ramie cloth. This report maps a chain that fell from its weaving peak and was reborn upstream in synthetic fiber.

Liaoning's Liquor, Beverage and Refined Tea Manufacturing: An Old Distillery and a New Water Line in a Beer Powerhouse
Liaoning sits in the top tier of Chinese provinces for beer output, and Shenyang has been crowned China's Capital of Beer. Laolongkou and Daoguang Nianwu carry the historical weight of regional baijiu, while local soft-drink names like Bawangsi are reviving. This report maps the real landscape and the upstream supply opportunity.

A Study of Shaanxi's Tobacco Manufacturing: One Tobacco Company, Five Cigarette Factories, and a Good Cat
Shaanxi's tobacco manufacturing is bounded by the state monopoly system and supported by a single industrial entity, Shaanxi Tobacco, with five cigarette factories standing on three old brands. This report traces its institutional backdrop, structure, and brand lineage, while honestly stating the limits of public data.

Liaoning's Textile Industry: One Small City Clothing the World in Swimwear, One Old Plant Feeding the Fiber Chain
Liaoning's textile industry does not win on scale. It rests on two unusual nodes: Xingcheng, a single small city producing a quarter of the world's swimwear, and Liaoyang Petrochemical, which turns aromatics and polyester into the raw material of synthetic fiber. This report maps a chain that is strong at both ends but thin in the middle, and examines its real weakness.

Guizhou Apparel and Garment Industry: An Industry-Transfer Destination and the Two Threads of Ethnic Embroidery and Batik
Guizhou's apparel and garment industry is an emerging track held up by two forces at once — manufacturing capacity transferred from China's eastern coast, and the local tradition of ethnic embroidery and batik. This study traces its real scale, supply-chain gaps, and upstream opportunities through transfer projects such as Hengli Guiyang, the Anlong textile city, and Bijie's Jinghuang Garment, alongside the Miao embroidery and batik industry organized under the Brocade Program.

Tibet's Leather, Fur, and Footwear Industry: Plateau Livestock By-Products, the Handcrafted Tibetan Boot Tradition, and Limited Industrialization
Tibet's leather, fur, and footwear industry is exceptionally small with very few scaled factories. Rather than papering over the data scarcity, this report focuses on yak-hide processing, the handcrafted Tibetan boot tradition, Xietongmen leather goods, and the restructuring and relocation of the Lhasa Leather Factory — presenting an honest picture of a sector dominated by traditional handicraft and small workshops, with limited industrialization.

Qinghai Food Manufacturing: Four Plateau Flavors and a Single Value Chain
Built on highland barley, yak, goji berry, and cold-water fish, Qinghai turns scarce plateau endowments into shippable food products. This research maps the real scale, leading enterprises, and upstream opportunities of these four specialty food chains.
